Manchester United transfer news LIVE Vanderson latest as Frenkie de Jong makes Barcelona admission

Manchester United will be keeping a close eye on proceedings on the international stage this evening, with the current international break poised to explode into life tonight.

Several members of Erik ten Hag's squad have been called up by their respective nations for this current break, which marks the last opportunity for national team managers to assess their players ahead of deciding on their World Cup squads. The likes of Raphael Varane, Christian Eriksen and Tyrell Malacia could all be in action tonight for France, Denmark and the Netherlands, respectively.

United will be sure to keep a watchful eye on matters, not least in the hope of avoiding any injury issues. Ten Hag is already battling a handful of problems within his squad and will be determined to keep the Carrington treatment room as clear as possible ahead of a relentless-looking October schedule.

As well as using the international break to keep a close eye on their players, United are also using this current hiatus to talk transfer plans ahead of January. The club recruited six new faces during the summer and it is very much possible that they could dive back into the market in the New Year.
